We at Mortgage Choice Central Coast have prepared a table showing the median weekly house rent for 47 suburbs on the Central Coast. We have also compared these results with those from October 2020. During this five-year term, Umina Beach ranks 2nd out of 47 suburbs in terms of the percentage growth (35.38%) in median weekly house rents. A significant result when inflation (CPI) was 22.5% over the same term.
Key Highlights for Central Coast Investment Property Investors:
- Central Coast Average Rent Growth: +28.00% over 5 years ($465 → $645 per week), significantly outperforming Sydney’s long-term averages.
- Top Performers: Erina (+36%), Umina Beach (+35.38%), Gwandalan (+34.38%), and Ettalong Beach (+32.20%) lead the pack — all delivering over 32% growth since 2020.
- Consistent Performers: 18 suburbs achieved 30%+ rental growth, demonstrating broad-based demand across the entire Central Coast.
- Low Vacancy, High Yield Potential: Sustained population growth and limited new supply continue driving rents higher — potentially ideal conditions for buy-and-hold investors.
For investors seeking cash-flow-positive investment properties with proven capital growth potential, the Central Coast remains one of NSW’s strongest performers in 2025. Now is an excellent time to review financing options and secure your next property. Remember, SMSF lending is also an option.
